This seems to be a common question here but here it goes. I'm working on the gearing for my 8 year old kid.
Ultramax Badmax Chassis
100% OTB Stock Predator 212 Hemi including governor
Weight 308LB him and the kart combined
RPM around 5400 on stand
Tires Burris 33A
Tire Pressure 3lb right, 2lb left
1" of stagger from side to side
Clutch Noram Stinger
Current Gears 15/64
Track - Riverside Kartway Ulysses, KY 1/10 Dirt Steep Banks
if any more info is needed please ask.
I've been messing with gears trying to get him around the track faster, with the current setup he ends up around 1/4 to 1/2 track behind at the end of the race. he is holding the throttle down the entire race and cranking around 5100 RPM. i did have him on a 13/61 and he was cranking 5300 but going slower than he is now. What would be a suggestion for changes?
Also his class don't do a rolling start, he is getting left at the starting line and spends the whole race trying to catch up. When i had him on a 13/64 he would beat everyone out of the hole but would be passed before the 1st lap was completed.
Videos of him racing can be seen on my youtube... www.youtube.com/danielkoch87
